"I misunderstood the problem and only realised the situation when the doctor arrived at the bench.

"It was a big misunderstanding because I understood the keeper had cramp and was unable to go to the penalties. But it was not cramp and could go to the penalties."

On why he walked off towards the tunnel: "I needed to return to be quiet. He [Kepa] understood that I asked for a change for his physical problem and he said I haven't a physical problem. And he was right.

"I realised after when the doctor arrived. I have talked to him [Kepa] but only to clarify because now I have understand the situation."

How will Willy Caballero feel after that? How can he train with Kepa again? How can Sarri stand in a dressing room and speak to that player again and expect him to listen to him? There's no way back for Kepa.

Ashley: Kepa should be banned by Chelsea for at least 5 games..player power rules over a manager? Pathetic behaviour from him. I'll back Sarri on this one because there is a massive lack of disrespect there.

Amrul: If Sarri escapes this it would be because of Public sympathy. Kepa is now the villain of the piece at Stamford Bridge.

Nicola: I do feel sorry for Sarri... He seemed to soften his stubbornness today with the lineup and the substitutions and the second half performance was brilliant... But then that Kepa incident happens and undermines everything and I wouldn't blame him for walking.

Paul: As bad as Kepa behaved let's be honest, as a player he has more value as a commodity to Chelsea than sarri does as a manager. It's a club who've still won loads despite sacking managers. Sarri won't be missed, Kepa could play for a decade. Sarri will be one who goes.

'I can't comment'

Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta straight bats the only question we all want his answer to...

On the incident between Kepa and Sarri: "I don't know what happened because I was on the other side of the pitch so I can't comment."

On Chelsea's performance: "Obviously we knew we had to fight very hard against a very strong team and to have chances to win the trophy we got to penalties and we are very disappointed. Now we have to recover because 120 minutes was very hard and we have another tough game in midweek.

"First of all we had a very good effort from everyone involved, we ran a lot and we fought a lot, but maybe it is true we lacked a bit with ball but we had chances as well."

On where Chelsea go from here: "We are used to competing in the biggest fixtures and fighting for trophies but we are frustrated because we have not showed consistency.

"Now we have to be focused and play for the Europa League and to qualify for the Champions Legaue so hoepfully everyone, we are ready for it."

'Whole team disrespected Sarri'

In the heat of the moment there, in virtually any other team, the players would have dragged him off. What does that tell us about Chelsea at the moment? It's not just Kepa who has disrespected Sarri there, it's the Chelsea players.
